The cool autumn breeze blew through the campus of Haijing Normal University, and the leaves of the phoenix trees had clearly turned yellow.

Xu Donggui fell in love with this piece of turtle shell at first sight.

The size of an adult’s palm, it had a warm yellow color. Perhaps because it had been played with for too long, its surface had become smooth and shiny, resembling a precious jade.

There were some irregular patterns on the back, crisscrossing like the trajectory of destiny, exuding a mysterious and strange beauty.

“It seems to be conveying some kind of information?”

Xu Donggui felt that these patterns were like a language, conveying some kind of revelation, just like those oracle bones.

As soon as he held the turtle shell, a warm feeling immediately spread from his palm.

Xu Donggui subconsciously tightened his grip on it.

So comfortable!

I really want it!

Xu Donggui’s greed couldn’t be stopped at all. He eagerly explored the jade stone, as if he wanted to leave his mark on it.

“The person who sold me the turtle shell said that it can be used for divination!”

Lin Baici looked at Xu Donggui’s actions, feeling disgusted.

Forget about these precious cultural relics, even if it was someone else’s phone, you shouldn’t do that, right?

He didn’t expect to encounter such a person on his first visit to Haijing Normal University.

[A narrow-minded and psychologically dark person. If he can’t have something, he won’t let others have it either!]

[Eliminate!]

“Divination?”

Xu Donggui nodded when he heard the words. “That’s right. In the pre-Qin period, divination was performed before sacrifices or before launching wars to determine good and bad luck.”

Xu Donggui was a major in archaeology, so he had some professional knowledge. He hadn’t thought about divination before, but after hearing Lin Baici’s words, he decided to give it a try.

Anyway, if it didn’t work, he wouldn’t lose anything.

So Xu Donggui silently asked in his heart, “How is my recent luck?”

After asking, he didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the turtle shell had become slightly warm.

At the same time, a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

“You will encounter a bloody disaster today, a great calamity!”

Damn it!

Is it just a psychological effect?

Xu Donggui muttered to himself as he played with the turtle shell.

Beautiful!

Xu Donggui couldn’t bear to let go of it and didn’t want to return it to Lin Baici.

“Can you give it back to me?”

Lin Baici suddenly wanted to join the Nine Provinces Security Bureau and obtain that license to kill.

“If you let me study it for a few more days, I can help you decipher the text on this turtle shell. Don’t worry, I won’t charge you!”

Xu Donggui suggested, pushing up his glasses with his hand.

Lin Baici didn’t waste any more words and directly reached out, grabbing Xu Donggui’s wrist.

“What are you doing?”

Xu Donggui was startled and exerted force with his hand, not wanting to let Lin Baici take back the turtle shell.

Lin Baici had completely lost his patience and slapped Xu Donggui’s cheek four times in a row.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Xu Donggui was stunned and his mouth split open.

Lin Baici tightly squeezed Xu Donggui’s wrist.

“Ah!”

Xu Donggui screamed in pain and subconsciously released his grip.

The turtle shell fell!

Snap!

Lin Baici caught it effortlessly and then kicked Xu Donggui in the stomach.

Bang!

Xu Donggui stumbled back a few steps and sat on the ground.

“I’m calling the police!”

Xu Donggui shouted.

The commotion here attracted the attention of nearby female students.

“Hehe, go ahead and call!”

Lin Baici sneered. This god is not afraid of you!

He didn’t even leave Haijing Normal University but continued to stroll around.

Xu Donggui’s face was burning with pain. He quickly took out his phone and secretly took a few photos of Lin Baici.

As long as there are photos, even if I don’t know your name, I can find you.

Xu Donggui originally wanted to report Lin Baici for illegally possessing cultural relics, but after thinking about it, it would only harm others and not benefit himself.

“How can I get my hands on that turtle shell?”

Xu Donggui followed Lin Baici from a distance, his mind filled with various thoughts.

…

“What’s the situation?”

Lin Baici placed the turtle shell next to his ear and asked.

“Master, rest assured, I have completed the curse, and it will soon be destroyed!”

‘It’ spoke, and if it had a face, it would definitely be full of flattery.

“Don’t use sudden turning, rapid aging curses, understand?”

Lin Baici had never thought about dealing with ordinary people before, so he hadn’t explained these precautions.

“Master, I am, after all, a sacrificial turtle shell from the Shang Dynasty. I have seen kings, ministers, and countless people who were buried with me… I know when to do what.”

‘It’ chuckled, very confident in its professional knowledge.

When it needed to show miracles, ‘it’ would create a grand scene. When it needed to secretly harm someone, it would be as if nothing had happened.

Today’s murder was just a small test.

Back in the palace, the turtle shell killed concubines, ministers, and even three kings. Those were truly the most enjoyable days.

“How effective is the curse against the Divine Hunters?”

Lin Baici was curious.

“Curse, in essence, is a kind of power. It’s just more mysterious and unpredictable. The divine power you Divine Hunters possess weakens the power of the curse. The stronger you are, the weaker the effect of the curse!”

‘It’ explained.

“Similarly, people with strong vitality and robust physique will have a slightly higher resistance to curses. But for me, mortals are all ants!”

Lin Baici nodded, showing his understanding.

“Master, it’s been a long time since I last performed divination. My skills have become rusty. Can we hold a ceremony? Let me have some fun!”

“I really want to see what humans look like after being cursed!”‘It’ is about to cry.

I am so dedicated, wanting to work overtime every day, but unfortunately the owner does not allow it.

Depressed.

“Letting you randomly divine fortunes, in a few days I will be caught!”

Lin Baici dare not let this turtle shell wave, because its divination is essentially a curse, an evil power.

He turned around and saw the boy following him, knowing that he was being stuck like a plaster. He saw the teaching building not far away and immediately rushed in.

Xu Donggui worried about losing the person and quickly ran over, then saw Lin Baici’s figure flash on the stairs.

“Damn!”

Xu Donggui didn’t even think about it, took big steps up the stairs, he was ready to threaten again. If he really couldn’t get the turtle shell, he would go find the mentor.

At least it would benefit the mentor and help him with his postgraduate entrance examination.

Xu Donggui chased to the third floor and still didn’t see Lin Baici, which made him anxious.

“Where is he?”

Xu Donggui walked to the front of the two classrooms near the stairs on the third floor and looked inside.

No one!

So he ran to the fourth floor, but still didn’t see him.

“Damn, that guy is a ghost!”

Xu Donggui cursed, going downstairs while starting to think about the next plan, how to maximize his own interests.

Then when he reached the sixth step, his feet suddenly slipped and he stepped on air.

Bang!

Xu Donggui fell on the stairs.

“Ah!”

He was completely stunned, screaming in agony, rolling down the steps, and then his head hit the wall.

Splash!

Blood immediately gushed out, flooding his face.

“Help…”

Xu Donggui wanted to call for help.

“Someone fell down the stairs!”

“Quick, call 120!”

“His head is cracked, there’s no hope, right?”

Several students who witnessed this scene immediately shouted.

Xu Donggui thought of the thoughts that appeared in his mind when he divined with the turtle shell.

If I had known that there would be a bloody disaster today, I shouldn’t have gone out.

Some enthusiastic students came to help Xu Donggui.

Lin Baici appeared at the entrance of the stairs, looking coldly at the boy who extorted him.

Through his dizzy head, Xu Donggui saw Lin Baici standing on the third floor. The look in his eyes, as if he had known this scene would happen, made him shudder.

“I’ve been tricked?”

Xu Donggui directly broke out in a cold sweat.

Lin Baici waved his hand.

Goodbye!

“You…”

Xu Donggui was both anxious and angry. Judging from the movement of his mouth, he should be saying ‘goodbye’. He wanted to accuse this guy, but with the loss of blood, his severely impacted head couldn’t form words anymore.

Lin Baici left.

Many students in the classrooms heard someone shouting that someone had died and ran out to watch the excitement.

The corridor was suddenly crowded with people.

Lin Baici walked against the crowd, brushing past these people.

He knew that at the last moment, he shouldn’t have appeared at the scene of the incident, and he shouldn’t have waved goodbye to that boy.

But that guy’s behavior was too disgusting. If Lin Baici didn’t mock him a little, he would feel uncomfortable for the rest of his life.

Lin Baici left the teaching building, and the autumn sunlight sprinkled on him, feeling somewhat warm.

“What was the divination result for that person?”

Lin Baici was curious.

“Fell and died!”

‘It’ smirked, “Actually, I prefer a slow death!”

The phone rang.

It was Li Wei.

“Are you done?”

Hearing the voice of his childhood friend, Lin Baici’s mood improved a lot.

“Where are you now? I’ll come find you!”

In the phone, you could hear Li Wei’s energetic voice.

“In front of the teaching building that looks like a cannon barrel, under the phoenix tree!”

Lin Baici hung up the phone, and in less than five minutes, a familiar figure came flying on a mountain bike.

Because the speed was too fast, it looked like riding on a whirlwind.

Li Wei squeezed the brakes.

Squeak!

The mountain bike stopped abruptly in front of Lin Baici. Li Wei put one foot on the ground, glanced at him, and couldn’t help but exclaim, “How come you’ve grown so tall after not seeing you for a month?”

“Second development!”

Lin Baici casually replied.

“Your skin has also improved, and your eyes are shining!”

Li Wei parked the bike and walked up to Lin Baici, carefully examining him.

Because they had been childhood friends since they were young, Li Wei was too familiar with Lin Baici. He could tell if there were any slight changes.

“What’s up?”

Lin Baici pushed away Li Wei’s head, “I’m not a girl, stop staring.”

[A big fool like you, I’m worried about being infected by this kind of prey!]

“How about my mountain bike?”

Li Wei patted the seat of the bike, showing off, “It only cost me three hundred!”

“It’s cool!”

Lin Baici knew that when Li Wei was in high school, he rode an old bike. He had always wanted to buy a mountain bike.

“A few days before school started, I helped a senior move. He saw that I was working hard, so he sold me this unused bike.”

Li Wei smirked, “I checked on Taobao, the original price was over two thousand!”

“By the way, how did you come here?”

“By bus!”

Lin Baici looked at Li Wei, still the same as before, round face, short hair, small eyes, ordinary and healthy.

But maybe it was because he had worked for half of the summer vacation, his childhood friend had gotten tanned, and his mental state was super good. It seemed that he had adapted well to the new environment.

“Then use this when you go back!”

Li Wei patted the mountain bike, “The campus of Haijing University of Science and Technology is several times larger than our normal university. You’ll need it for commuting to and from classes.”

“No need, you keep it!”Lin Baici couldn’t help but smile. This is friendship!

“I bought this mountain bike not only because I like it, but also because I hope to find a girlfriend quickly and take her for a ride around the school!”

Li Wei sighed, “But it’s so difficult now!”

It’s hard to find a girlfriend, and even if you find one, she probably won’t ride on it.

Two wheels are destined to be less prestigious than four wheels.

“It will happen!”

Lin Baici encouraged.

“You can ride it. With your looks, you’ll probably have a girlfriend soon!”

Li Wei envied him and put his arm around Lin Baici’s shoulder. “Lao Bai, we have to work hard. Even if we can’t afford a BMW or Mercedes, we should at least have a car. I’ve realized that having a car makes it so much easier to pursue girls.”

“If you have the time, why not get a driver’s license?”

Lin Baici had a two-million-dollar Mercedes AMG, a gift from Gao Limei. He could just make up an excuse and let his childhood friend borrow it.

“If I have the time, I might as well work. At least I can earn some money!”

Li Wei said, immediately smiling. “Do you know how much I earned this summer vacation?”

Before Lin Baici could answer, Li Wei held up four fingers and proudly waved them in front of Lin Baici.

“Four thousand?”

Lin Baici didn’t want to stand there looking foolish. “Let’s go find a KFC and sit for a while!”

When the two of them went out to play, they usually went to KFC for lunch.

“KFC? Today, I’ll treat you to a big meal!”

Li Wei pushed the bike and walked side by side with Lin Baici. “Let me tell you, it’s so easy to make money in Haijing. After I graduate from college, I’m determined to stay in this city!”

Lin Baici didn’t know if it was easy to make money in Haijing, but it was definitely easy to make money in God’s Ruins. He touched the wallet in his pocket.

In just over a month, he had saved twenty million, and that was just cash. If he casually sold a few Divine Taboos, he would become a billionaire.

Xiankelai was a popular restaurant near Haijing Normal University. The prices were not expensive, and the food was delicious.

“Their Drunken Immortal Chicken is great. I’ve eaten it with my roommates before!”

But Li Wei and Lin Baici arrived a bit late and had to wait for a table.

“We can eat at a roadside stall!”

Lin Baici came here to meet his childhood friend, so it didn’t matter what they ate.

“No way!”

Li Wei refused.

In terms of looks, Lin Baici had always been better than him. From childhood to adulthood, Lin Baici’s grades were better than his. Now that Li Wei had finally earned some money, he felt like he had finally surpassed Lin Baici in one aspect and naturally wanted to show it off.

Of course, there was no ill intent. It was purely a small sense of competitiveness.

He saw Lin Baici take out his phone to check the time and couldn’t help but be surprised.

“You bought an iPhone?”

It seemed to be the most expensive PRO version.

“Yeah!”

Lin Baici didn’t care about what phone he used anymore.

“So extravagant!”

Li Wei envied him. He could only think about buying such a phone, but he would never be willing to actually buy it.

“Li Wei!”

Suddenly, a girl shouted.

Lin Baici turned his head and saw a girl of average height with a ponytail, wearing jeans and a fleece jacket. With her big eyes, she had a pure and slightly charming look.

“Class monitor!”

Li Wei immediately straightened up and became serious.

“Are you going to eat?”

The girl looked at Lin Baici. “Is this your classmate?”

“Yeah, my childhood friend!”

Li Wei quickly introduced, “Lao Bai, this is our class monitor, Cai Wenqi.”

“Hello!”

Lin Baici smiled.

This girl was about 70 points in terms of looks, and her outgoing personality added another point.

“Hello, didn’t you guys reserve a private room? Do you want to join us?”

Cai Wenqi invited.

“No, no, you guys go ahead and eat!”

Li Wei quickly refused.

“Alright then!”

Cai Wenqi just made a polite invitation. Seeing Li Wei refuse, she went upstairs with the waiter.

She had reserved a private room in advance.

“Do you like her?”

Lin Baici teased. This group of people consisted of seven girls, and Li Wei’s gaze had been fixed on Cai Wenqi.

“It’s not really liking. I just think her friendly personality is nice.”

There was nothing to hide from his childhood friend.

[A girl with lofty ideals, an ordinary life is not her pursuit. For this, she is willing to sacrifice something!]

[Success is her only persistence, and university is her hunting ground to test her skills!]

…

After Cai Wenqi and her group sat down, ordered their food, and waited, they started talking about Lin Baici.

“Li Wei’s childhood friend is so handsome!”

“He could become an idol trainee!”

“It seems like he’s not from our school?”

The girls chattered.

“I’ll ask!”

Cai Wenqi smiled and sent a message to Li Wei.

Yao Caoqihua: My friend is interested in your childhood friend. I’m curious which school he’s from?

Li Shangui: Haijing University of Science and Technology, majoring in software engineering.

Yao Caoqihua: Okay! Then she sent a smiling face.

“He’s from Haijing University of Science and Technology!”

Cai Wenqi said, and everyone’s impression of Lin Baici became even better.

“It seems like he’s not just a pretty face!”

“I heard that software engineers have high salaries!”

“Haijing University of Science and Technology graduates should have an easier time staying in Haijing, right? At least after ten years of hard work, they can afford a house.”

The girls discussed.

“What are your plans for the National Day holiday?”

Cai Wenqi changed the topic. “I’m not planning to go home. I want to go to the museum. I heard there’s an exhibition there, and I want to broaden my horizons!”

Cai Wenqi wanted to find a few companions.

…

“My class monitor said her friend is interested in you.”Li Wei was envious.

“How are you spending the National Day?”

Lin Baici chuckled, none of those girls were as beautiful as Zhu Qiunan, who was also a top student in her freshman year.

“I’ve already found a part-time job, planning to make quick money for seven days!”

Li Wei was recently obsessed with money. Only with money, he could have the confidence to find a girlfriend.

“Don’t push yourself too hard. If you’re short of money, just let me know!”

After having a meal with Li Wei, Lin Baici strolled around the campus, visited his dormitory, and didn’t say goodbye until five o’clock.

“You should go back now!”

At the school gate, Lin Baici got into a taxi and waved at Li Wei.

The taxi started and hadn’t gone two hundred meters when Lin Baici’s stomach started to growl.

Gurgle!

A sudden feeling of hunger.

“Stop the car!”

Lin Baici shouted, immediately looking around.

“What’s wrong?”

The driver was puzzled.

“I lost something!”

Worried that his phone might run out of battery or be stolen, Lin Baici always kept a dozen hundred-yuan bills in his wallet for emergencies. He didn’t care about the change now, gave the driver a hundred yuan, and got out of the car.
